...Human Resources. The Company recruitment process will be a form of engaging the local personnel(employment agencies ) have the necessary knowledge of the country’s HR policies and procedures and will be used to do most of the direct hiring of the personnel that will work for the company . Some of the vital considerations to keep in mind are the Cultural, Political and Legal factors of Russia . Recruiting and Staffing An external recruitment process is recommended. It should be a two dimensional relationship namely the Headquarters / Subsidiary Relationship. The subsidiary will be the local manager who will manage locally while the headquarters manager will coordinate and control the regional operations. Nearly all the work force will be recruited in Russia as they understand the culture and will be more capable of opening the market and helping to increase consumer confidence in the product. Another point to consider is that, while recruiting and staffing are a fairly straightforward processes for most American companies, some Russian companies have had to actively search for and recruit employees. In one case, a client seemed surprised that he should spend time and money looking for qualified employees. He assumed that prospective employees would come to him . This is not necessarily the case in Russia and is a good reason why a local person should be on ground handling most of the recruiting and staffing stages.

...International Sports and Entertainment Center Rex W. Greene Athens State University The first thing to be said about this consortium’s idea is either the first time anyone has tried this or that no one had been successful at it. Still the idea meets with several problems, starting with getting land secured, getting the facilities built, getting the athletes and coaches to the venues, and getting investors in line for the convention, hotel, restaurants and retail outlets. Securing of land in that area could prove to be difficult. According to the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce website, there are no available properties in the area adjoining I-65 and I-565 (Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce, 2011). Should that hurdle be conquered, the next challenge would be to get the athletes involved. Currently, the biggest Olympic development campuses in the United State are located in Colorado Springs, Colo. and Chula Vista, Calif., although there are also training centers in New York, Alabama and Michigan. It is the responsibility of each sport’s National Governing Body (NGB) to select athletes to train at these centers and to administer all coaching and technical training. The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) offers the athletes free from and board, training facilities, sports medicine and sports science testing and analysis. (Osborne, 2008) The next hurdle would come in getting the private and...

...Portugal’s Economic Crisis A series of economic-plummeting activities has plagued Portugal since 1999. Until 2011, the country has been covering up their genuine economic crisis. It wasn’t until they requested financial assistance from The International Monetary Fund and the European Union in April 201l, that their crisis was revealed. There are several debates on the reasons for Portugal’s bailout request. Robert M. Fishman, a professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame, argues, “[Portugal’s third national request for a bailout] has come under unfair and arbitrary pressure from bond traders, speculators and credit rating analysts.” With this statement, he claims that Portugal’s bailout request didn’t result from a debt, but rather the threat of these market forces that have pushed out the prime minister of the country for a four-month period. With the absence of this democratic government, Fishman debates further that there was not a genuine underlying crisis in Portugal. (Fishman, Robert. The New York Times (The Opinion Pages) Portugal’s Unnecessary Bailout. April 12, 2011) The truth is that Portugal has had an underlying crisis for years but has managed to shift from the global public eye. According to David R. Cameron, professor of Political Science at Yale University, “there has been a recurring imbalance between spending and revenues.” This leads to my first solution, which is to have Portugal abandon their current fiscal policy. This would help cure the...

...9/23/2013 Prof. Shapero Internatonal Management - Chapter 4 In order to be successful doing business globally it’s important to understand cultural diversity. To understand different cultures and to adapt effectively is a major challenge for the most Multinational Companies. From that reason stereotypes and overgeneralization should be avoided. Chapter 4 is showing how companies from different countries present and resolve problems that company is facing with on different ways. The Toyota one of the most famous car companies in the world is a great example how culture can make influence in resolving business problems. “Culture can affect technology transfer, managerial attitudes, managerial ideology, and even business-government relations” (Luthans & Doh, pg. 109). When Toyota announced a massive recall of many of its vehicles, that made $2 billion lost for the company, Toyota managed the crisis was even worse than company financial consequences. The president of the company didn’t appear in publicly for two weeks after the recall announcement. When he appeared, he was minimizing the problem. This example clearly shows the differences between how Americans and Japanese workers address management problems. “In Japan, employees’ identities are closely tied to their company’s image and loyalty to the firm overrides concerns about consumers” ( Luthans & Doh, pg. 107). Japanese culture doesn’t connect companies with their customers, customer service is not main...

...Is Advertising Ethical? April 1, 2012 Joseph “Chip” Gibson MBA 515 Learning Unit 10 Dr. Gordon Russell Ethics in advertising to most sounds like the definition for irony. However, the practice of truthful advertising is commonplace in today’s society. Advertisers are held accountable for the messages they produce. So are the manufacturers, whom are held accountable for their products meeting the standards set forth by the advertisement. For the most part this is a self-regulated practice. Once an advertised product is called out for not living up to expectation, recovery of reputation and overall positive brand imaging are rarely had. The added fear of civil lawsuits pertaining to deceptive advertising coupled with penal laws which prohibit such dishonest acts, make for an industry centered on truthful intent. Advertising is any paid form of non-personal communication about an organization, good, service or idea by an identified sponsor (Berkowitz, Crane, Kerin, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2003, p.494). Advertisements are displayed through various means to a large audience. They can be found on the Internet, in a magazine, or even on the highway. Advertisements are everywhere! Their main goal is to grab the consumer’s attention about a specific good, service or institution. To achieve this goal, advertisers use an assortment of techniques. However, some of the techniques used are illegal, unethical, or both. To illustrate, there is an illegal trick known as bait...

...TOPIC: CLIMATE CHANGE The topic of climate change is like a puzzle with many different pieces—oceans, the atmosphere, ecosystems, polar ice, natural and human influences. Scientists have been working on this puzzle for more than a century, and while there are still gaps in our knowledge, most experts feel we have the puzzle is complete enough to show that human activities are having an adverse effect on our planet. This talks looks at many of those puzzle pieces, the evidence behind them, and the conclusions we can draw from them. OUTLINE • What changes climate? • Is it real? • How do we know? • Why should we care? • How sure are scientists? • What next—what can we do? What changes climate? Changes in: – Sun’s output – Earth’s orbit – Drifting continents – Volcanic eruptions – Greenhouse gases Scientists have a good understanding of what has changed earth’s climate in the past: • Incoming solar radiation is the main climate driver. Its energy output increased about 0.1% from 1750 to 1950, increasing temperatures by 0.2°F (0.1°C) in the first part of the 20th century. But since 1979, when we began taking measurements from space, the data show no long-term change in total solar energy, even though Earth has been warming. • Repetitive cycles in Earth’s orbit that occur over tens of thousands of years can influence the angle and timing...
